Doesn’t work rip-ofg

First of all I never thought I’d be writing a review like this. Let start out by saying I’m a bigger girl. I weigh 288lbs. It will make sense. Even at my weight I’ve never had a problem wiping my booty. Now that leads me to January when I broke my right wrist. My dominant hand. I CANNOT do anything with my left. So there comes a day when I have to poop. I remember seeing an episode of my 600lb life and a lady used a pair of tongs to hold the TP to help her reach around. So off to the store we go. Get back home tongs in hand. It works but not the most comfortable. My daughter says mom I’m sure Amazon has something. She types in ass wiper and this product comes up. I immediately order it. What do I have to lose at this point? It has been the most amazing product! Yep it’s soft. It reaches perfectly. I used flushable wipes with it so help keep me clean. Now my cast is off and I still do not have good range of motion and less flexibility than I had before. So I am still using it. I wished that I had one that folded so I could take it in the bathroom when I travel instead of trying to hide this one in my jacket. So I take a look and there is a foldable one. BUY IT! You won’t be disappointed.

The end that holds the TP doesn't do a very good job at all. You might as well use a plain stick with a rubber glove rubber-banded on. Gripper just doesn't hold it.

A LITTLE TRICKY TO HANDLE...BUT ONCE YOU GET HOW... IT DOES ITS PURPOSE

I dislike not being able to give this product a 5 star rating. It deserves 5 stars for usefulness and technical design. However, I am giving it 2 stars for material and assembly quality, as well as longevity of product. Within less than 24 hours of opening the box, the cover and spring had broken on the handle of the wiper. Since this doesn't render the product unusable, I have chosen to keep it rather than return it.I have purchased several of the Long Reach Comfort Wipe for my mother over the past several years from various retail outlets. None of the spring release mechanisms have lasted long-term. Some have lasted longer than others, but not having use of the spring-release mechanism has not deterred her from using the wiper. She loves the product.Overall, the wiper is a great little personal hygiene helper in the bathroom from toileting to showering. The cost of $6.95 is very acceptable. Anything more than that, due to the poor quality is over priced. I did purchase 2 this time. Hopefully, by the time my mother needs a replacement, the quality of the product will have improved.If you have physical difficulties with toileting and showering, I would still recommend The Long Reach Comfort Wipe.

I have bought four of these so far. The first two came is just plain plastic wrapping, and had darker teal rubber on both ends. One of these broke after about 8 months of use, and I replaced it with another one, which came in an appropriately printed box. I don't know if the first ones that I got were knock offs, or what, but they look and function exactly the same, so I'm not going to complain either way.As for function, I read the reviews before purchasing, and many folks said you had to use these from the front. I do not find that to be the case. I just scoot forward a bit and use it from the rear, no problem. Just make sure you tuck the tp in snugly, so that it doesn't mind up sticking to your bum instead of the handle.

Well sometimes if you have severe back pain, reach can be a problem. I highly recommend a toilet seat Bidet, but to "finish things up" you may feel the need to wipe..that's where something like this comes into play. Before using this, I pressed the "button" to check how it would function if needed, one, two annnndddd three, it broke on the third press! It feels like there is a long metal rod inside that's supposed to open a clip spring at the "grabby" side of this ( also, if you don't have good hand strength this is not for you ). So let's see if it would work IF it wasn't broken, I loaded it up with toilet paper ( 6 winds or folds as per instructions). Guess what?....the TP does not want to come off due to adherence to the silicone type rubber on the end of it. You will quite literally be shaking and flinging dirty toilet paper to try to unload this thing...ick. If that wasn't bad enough (and it is), the angle is such that you risk dunking your TP while having to squirm around to get where you need to be to wipe. If you are a plus size, that adds up (pun intended) to this thing never working. Try something else, as this is only slightly better than a corn cob. Hope this helps.
